Looking to translate, is there a .po file?

Pinegrow WP WP Starter Theme
1

I’m just starting to develop translation for wordpress theme so I’m a bit new to this.
I’ve read throught the documentation but I’m a bit lost, is there a .po file to translate from available somewhere ? Should I also create one with a language folder at the root of the theme ?

For your localization needs, the WordPress themes generated by Pinegrow contain everything you need to enable the use of Poedit which I highly recommend :slight_smile:

You will see that the process is extremely simple.

Note: The Pro version brings even more features. Poedit Pro — Poedit

But the starter theme 2 does not come with a .po file to edit (or am I missing it ?)

No, you have to build it with a tool like Poedit.
Hint: It’s an automatic process as the app will grab everything that needs to be included in the translation file for you.

Okay thanks for the anwser I’ll look into this build step then :slight_smile:

Oh but you need the pro version to build the po file.
It would be much more convenient to just edit a .po file generated for starter theme

Well, here is one that I have just generated for you Dropbox - st2.pot - Simplify your life

Just tell me if it’s fine for your needs.
